May 21, 2014 09:30 AM Eastern Daylight Time

NASHUA, N.H.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Skillsoft
today announced its latest Live
Event featuring author Judith Glaser, whose book “Conversational
Intelligence: How Great Leaders Build Trust and Get Extraordinary
Results” will guide the interactive presentation on business leadership.
The event will take place June 10, 2014 from 12:00-1:30pm EDT, and is
now open to all corporate professionals interested in Skillsoft’s
leadership development solutions, in addition to Skillsoft
Leadership Channel and Advantage
series customers.

Registration for this exclusive event is open online
to leadership and corporate professionals. Skillsoft is a pioneer in the
field of technology-delivered learning with a long history of innovation
and delivering solutions for its customers worldwide, ranging from

Through story-telling and practical exercises, Glaser will translate
neuroscience research into pragmatic and powerful conversational tools
that business leaders can use to develop trust, partnerships and mutual
success with their employees and peers. In a high-energy session,
participants will learn tools, practices, and frameworks to elevate
their conversations and positively impact their organizations’ future
success. Glaser will present a new framework that outlines which
conversations trigger the lower brain and what activates the
higher-level intelligences – empathy, foresight, good judgment and
trust. Additional takeaways include:

The neuroscience of conversations – including what conversations open
and close our brains, and why we need to know this;

The five conversational blind spots that lower our Conversational
Intelligence, and what to do about them;

How to activate, measure and use Three Levels of Conversations; and

How to use Conversational Rituals to elevate your C-IQ.

“Skillsoft has long been committed to providing organizations with the
tools they need to maximize leadership skills and inspire new approaches

to business leaders wanting to form more successful partnerships between
themselves and their coworkers.”
